The Poet's Appearance Poem by Compton Wright

People say I'm weird, stupid and mindless
but it more that meet the eyes
these poems I write are from
within, outside and above my creative thinking
I'm glad that the gods teach me how to read and write
without pen and paper I couldn't make my thoughts come to life
as poetry lives on as well as music. my poems and others will
stay infinite and timeless from generations to come.
I want people to read and understand
what I see as the world in my mindset
I'm sweet, kind and so curious of my limits in this lifetime
but personal problems cloud these characteristics
to family issues, to school, to relationships that I have so far
my appearance as a person, a son, a lover and as a poet
I'm entitled by many as infinite; loved or disrespected
my name will be heard as I'm named as CJ Wright
